Willem Dafoe In 'Love's Routine': Watch The Actor Moonlight In A Creepy Student Film

Shirlyn Wong really felt like she was living someone else’s life when she found herself poking Willem Dafoe’s face. And not by choice.

What a great article! So truly touched. It's such a fun read and so witty. Mallika Rao (writer) and Wendy George (photographer) have a special place in my heart.  I'm glad they expressed how down to earth and funny Willem Dafoe is. I should have mentioned right before we walked out on the red carpet, he offered me a potato chip from a bag he was eating out of. And just like poking his face, I couldn't say no. He's such a stellar guy!

Rao was also so mindful to plug my next film, The Mobile Stripper.

What a great article about Kevin Spacey, Willem Dafoe, Dana Brunetti and the team at Trigger Street working with Jameson to send the elevator back down to young filmmakers.
